Dottie West - Country Girl Lyrics
I was born a country girl; I will die a country girl
My world is made of blue skies and sunshine
Green fields and butterflies
I'm so glad I'm a country girl
Birds sing good morning to a country girl
And I sleep to the sounds of whip-o-wills
My day is made with puppies and kittens meadows and daisies
I'm so glad I'm a country girl
Running over hills playing in the woods free breezes blowing
Honey bees are swarming, black birds are flying, wonder where they're going
Picking stick-me-tights off my gingham dress darkness is falling
Firewood to carry eggs to gather and supper?s ready mamma's calling
I was born a country girl and I will die a country girl
My world is made of blue skies and sunshine
Green fields and butterflies
I'm so glad I'm a country girl
Oh I'm so happy I'm a country girl
